Unfortunately, I am still searching for the correct person to join my team of staff. I can not comment on the reasons why my latest appointment did not work out, but it seems that I am back at square one searching for people to help me live independently.
I am STILL in search of new staff to work alongside me as a personal assistant. This is a fulfilling role that gives you the chance to make a difference to someone else’s life. I am looking for someone who is punctual, reliable, a team player and can be flexible. Word processing skills and a full driving licence are ABSOLUTELY essential to help me get the most out of my life.
There are plenty of shifts available during the weekends, and I am in urgent need of someone to fill the Monday morning shift from 08:30 – 15:00. Because I operate with a relatively small team of staff, I am often trying to cover holidays and sickness – there are a whole host of hours available for the right person. This is an ideal opportunity for a student looking to gain experience in social care sector or any empathetic individual who wants to put their time to good use.
Ideally, I will eventually be able to build a team of bank staff, to ease the burden on my contracted staff. If you are interested in either of these positions, or know someone who may be, please get in touch via the Contact page, Facebook or Twitter. Good luck.
